The line is available in a choice of three colors, features a 0.96'' OLED screen and is waterproof at depths of up to 30 meters. The battery life lasts up to two days and is equipped with a microphone and speaker for telephone calls. The red SOS button can be used to send an alert to up to three numbers in an emergency situation.

The app features a location interface with GPS tracking, several days' worth of location history and the option to retrace the child's path. For remote surveillance, parents can listen to their child's surroundings through a baby monitor function.
